Title: what online parts uppliers do you use?
Post by: VW BUSH on 09 April 2011, 17:17

Need to buy some bit online and get them delivered.
Having been bitten by online suppliers and tired of the euro/gsf saga of returning the wrongly supplied bits, I would like some suggestions of good onine suppliers for my new Mk3 tugboat.....

I need

Rear discs and pads
Rear ABS sensors (Long lead,AGG)
Front cooling flange/temp sensor housing (VW want blood for one)
Front Grill

Input greatly appreciated  :wink:

agree with Chuff on this one as ive had similar experiences with online parts shops. take the worn/broken part with you to gsf and the like and check its correct. this is the only way that works
